Traffic infractions are misdemeanors. To take lawful action, a misdemeanor offense must have been committed in the officers presence. EXCEPTION: if the officer was investigating an occurrence after it had taken place, (e.g.- accident - etc.) he can issue a citation based on physical evidence, the statements of witnesses, and the results of his investigation.
